The good folks at Centerforce Clutch post videos and photos of many of their customer’s rides on their Facebook page. One specific video however stands out above the rest.  The ’67 Chevelle Malibu Station Wagon owned by Scott Parkhurst is a great example of what can be done with raw material that was never intended to perform in this fashion.

Further digging on the net resulted in finding more information about the car and its owner on the reader’s rides page of the CarTechbooks.com website. There, Parkhurst gives a complete rundown on the wagon’s performance capabilities. Suffice it to say, it is highly modified in the powertrain, suspension, braking system and steering.

Cognitive dissonance is described as a discomfort caused by holding conflicting cognition at the same time. After viewing this bad ass station wagon in action, you may experience this sensation yourself. In your mind, you know that station wagons are not performance vehicles. They are land yachts with model names like Country Squire and Vista Cruiser.

Their function is solely for mom to slowly and safely transport the kids to and fro, haul the groceries and then maybe take a quick side trip for cocktails and Canasta with the girls! However, your eyes and ears tell you that the high performance machine ripping it up on an autocross course is definitely a station wagon! Even though it might be difficult to categorize this car in the mind, we can’t help but appreciate this unusual combination of high performance and domesticity.
